CHURNF Specification of Letters Patent.

ratented Sept. 19, 1905.

Application filed June 26, 1905. Serial No. 267,005.

To all w/tom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS M. SoHoMBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shirley, in the county of Hancock and State of 5 Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a churn which dis- Io penses with the use of churn-dashers and the means whereby the churn is operated, as Will be hereinafter particularly described in the specification and pointed out in the claims.

The object of this invention is to provide a I 5 churn vessel that will have a motion of rotation around its own axis and 'also a motion of rotation around an axis situated at right angles to the axis of the churn vessel, thereby dispensing with the use of dashers and oper- 2o ating to more thoroughly agitate the cream to be churned to effectually separate the butter from the residue. I attain this object by means of the churn and.mechanism for driving the same illustrated in the accompanying 2 5 drawings, in which similar characters of reference designate like parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is an elevation of a churn embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation taken through the line A B. (See Fig. 1.) Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail broken sectional view of a portion of the side of the churn vessel and the lid therefor, showing the button fastening the latter. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the drive pulley of the apparatus, taken through the line C De (See Fig. 4.) Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail view of one of the trun- 0 nions of the churn, and Fig. 8 is a plan view of the same.

The frame for supporting the churn and its mechanism com rises the uprights or standards 1 and 2 31155116 bed or base plate 3, all

of which are securely connected together to form a solid supporting structure.

. A revoluble churn frame 4 is provided with the trunnions 5 and 6. The trunnion 5 is ournaled in the bearing 7 of the upright 2 and the trunnion 6 is journaled in the bore of the hub 8 of the fixed or stationary wheel 9. The wheel 9 is secured to the upright or standard 1. (See Figs. 4 and 6.) A crank 10, whereby the frame 4 is revolved, is keyed 5 5 or otherwise secured on the prolonged end of the longer trunnion 6. The frame 4, it will be readily seen, has a motion of rotation entirely distinct from the motion of rotation'of the churn vessel 11, the rotation of said frame being at right angles with the axis of rotation of the churn vessel 11, as will be readily understood on examining the drawings. On the ends of the revoluble frame 4 are the ournals 1-2 and 13, in which the trunnions 14 and 15 on the ends of the churn vessel turn.

The collars 16 and 17 of the trunnions 14 and 15 bear against the inner sides of the journals 12 and 13, and thereby prevent any end play of the churn vessel 11. The trunnions 14 and 15 are provided with similar flanges 18, which are secured in proper position to the end of the churn vessel 11that is to say, so that the centers of the trunnions 14 and 15 will be opposite and center with the axis of said churn vessel 11. On the prolonged end of the trunnion 15 is secured a pulley 19,whioh pulley is driven by a band or belt 20, passing around the guide-pulleys 21 to and around the fixed pulley 9. The guide-pulleys 21 revolve on studs 22, secured on the projecting ends of the lugs 23, formed integral on the revoluble frame 4. Now it is readily seen when the revoluble frame 4 is revolved by means of the crank 10 in the direction of the arrows a (see Figs. 1, 2, and 3) the belt 20 at the side a of the fixed pulley 9 (see Fig. 3) will be taken up, While -said belt will be played out on that side of the pulley marked 6, thereby simultaneously revolving the pulley 19 with the rotation of the frame 4 around the axis of the latter, thereby imparting a motion of rotation to said pulley and said churn vessel mounted therein at right angles to the axis of said frame and at a degree of velocity proportional to the respective diameters of the fixed pulley 9 and the revoluble pulley 19. Of course when the crank 10 is revolved in the opposite direction it will be readily understood that tho churn vessel 11 will also be revolved in a direction opposite to that previously described; but said churn vessel 11 will always revolve at right angles with the axis of rotation of the frame.

A suitable opening is formed in proper position in the churn vessel 11 and provided with a lid 24, removably secured by any suitable fastenings, as the buttons-25, whereby said lid may be removed or replaced at pleasure.

The churn vessel 11 maybe made cylindrical in form; but- I prefer to make it rectangular,

IIO

so that the contents thereof will be more thoroughly agitated.

Having thus fully described this my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to cover by Letters Patent of the United States therefor, is

1. A churn vessel having an axis of rotation around its own axis and an axis of rotation situated at right angles with its own axis the velocity of rotation around its own axis being higher than that around the other axis of rotation.

2. A churn vessel revolubly supported in a revoluble frame, the axis of the churn vessel being at right angles with the axis of rotation of said revoluble supporting -frame, and means for rotating said churn vessel simultaneously with the rotation of said revoluble supporting-frame.

3. A churn vessel revolubly supported in a revoluble frame, the axis of the churn vessel being at right angles with the axis of rotation of said revoluble sup orting-frame, and means for rotatingi said 0 urn vessel simultaneously With an at a hi her velocity than said revoluble su portingrame.

4. In a churn, the combination with a supportin -frame, a revoluble supportin -frame, a -fixe Wheel situated concentrica 1y with the axis of said revoluble frame, a churn vessel mounted to revolve in said revoluble frame around an axis situated in said frame to be at right angles with the axis of the latter, a churn-vessel pulley, belt guide-pulleys carried by said revoluble frame, and abelt extendin around said pulley, over said guide-p111 eye to and around said fixed drivepulley. a 4 In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
